subjunctive

I had this question in a test and got it right, but I thought I read somewhere that the subjunctive is suppose to have a change of subject, but it is not true in this case (creo=yo, sepa=yo). Can you help to clarify? Thank you.

No creo que yo ________ nada hasta las diez.I don't think I will know anything until ten o'clock.HINT: Conjugate "saber" in El Presente Subjuntivosepa

Thank you. Nicole

It is foggy. It is sunny

Why does the lesson say to use Hay with “It is foggy” but Está with “It is sunny”? I would think both would use Está

Also the lesson says to use Hay when it is followed by a noun, but Foggy is an adjective.

Thanks for your help!

accent on pelicula singular

Pelicula (singular) in the above has an accent in the first sentence but not in the third sentence. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks

using pronouns with llamarseIn the grammar section of llamas it says about pronouns: it is actually more common to drop them, so "Ella se llama Clara" = "Se llama Clara".

I forgot to drop it the first time, so I got a "nearly correct". The second time I dropped it, and it was still "nearly correct". - This I don't understand...

Preterite vs. Imperfect

It sounds strange to me to say Ellos fueron amigos. Isn't it better to say Ellos eran amigos, when there is no time specification?

Azúcar

Wouldn't we always use "el azúcar" for phonetic reasons?

Thanks!
